[cisco-voip] SLP -- Multicast? Berbee IP Speakers across wan

Wed Sep 17 13:13:09 EDT 2008

only goes to prove that slp going across a layer three devices does NOT
work.  because Multicast accross the router will not route back because
there is already a SLP source on the interface.  aaaaagggghhhhhhh!
